U.S.DONALD TRUMPIMMIGRATIONU.S.-MEXICO BORDERBORDER WALL
Donald Trump once floated a plan for ranchers to use ladders to get their cattle over the border wall, according to a new book by Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration official who famously criticized Trump in an op-ed under the pen name Anonymous.
Trump, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, made immigration a focus of his 2016 campaign for president. He followed through with hard-line anti-immigration policies, including building a physical wall at the southern border, a travel ban mostly affecting Muslim-majority countries and a "zero tolerance" policy that separated children from their parents.
Taylor, the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, has warned that a second Trump administration, or a MAGA successor, will be even worse.
As president, Trump would steer briefings to his "favorite subject" and run through his "list of cruelly imaginative immigration policies," Taylor writes in his upcoming book, Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy From the Next Trump, an extract of which was obtained exclusively by Newsweek.

In his book, Taylor recalls that in a March 7, 2019, meeting, Trump "out of nowhere" complained that ranchers in Texas were being allowed to open doors in the border wall to allow their cattle to reach the Rio Grande.
"No doors. I don't want doors," Trump said, according to Taylor. "How crazy is this? There are doors in the border wall? It's stupid. They can just walk up, open the door, and thousands of [illegals] rush in."
Kirstjen Nielsen, then the homeland security secretary, told Trump that this wasn't true, Taylor writes. But Trump "didn't care" and ordered them to acquire any land where ranchers had access to the Rio Grande.
"Just buy the land. I know more about land than any other human on Earth. Let's do it, okay?" Taylor quotes Trump as saying.
"Give the ranchers ladders. They can use ladders to get to the other side, but not doors. You could use small fire trucks. Call the local fire stations, and use the ladders on their trucks to help them get over."
The plan was "so incandescently stupid I couldn't laugh," Taylor remembers thinking at the time.
He said Trump went on to say that the plan was needed because Mexico "is a hellhole."

Sadly not a hat anyone in the Biden family or administration would be wearing....
How about emails?
That, too.
Just making sure your partisan isn’t showing.
If you can look back far enough, I had that exact criticism (and more) of Hillary in 2016.
Oh, so here again... that pesky "evidence" thing only matters if you're convicting republicans? I'm asking for Russian collusion.
Goddamn... everyone has to go back 7 years now? You need us to provide you some of Biden's more recent lies?
Oh wait, I forget... On BigSoccer.com, back in 1984, you chastised Biden for lying about his hair plugs.
I have no idea what you intended to post there.
I voted for Biden in 2020 beecause he was not Trump. The last time I checked, he is still not Trump.
I have a hope that Biden will do an LBJ imitation and announce that he is not running again and will not back any Democrat until the one that is nominated at the convention next year.
Sure you do. Democrats don't need evidence to convict Trump. Someone mentioned a camera? GUILTY! Some pencil neck loser cried "Russian collusion" for 2 years? GUILTY. But you don't even pull your suspenders up at all the accusations against Biden. Why? Because you're a democrat. And at this point, it's redundant to point it out. All I'm doing is feeding your starvation for attention.
You're right... he's not Trump. He's equally bad at speaking but nowhere near as productive for Americans. This country was 100 times better on Trump's watch and you know it. Doesn't bother you he lied about his credentials, lied about campaign promises, lied about taking bribes, lied about his dirty son and just promised to build a railroad across an ocean. He's incompetent and doesn't have an honest or honorable bone in his body.
Biden is so bad that Obama waited a week to endorse him after being named the nominee. Even Obama knew and Joe sure didn't disappoint.
I just found out that Biden's kids were secretly running a business for Joe while he was in office, doing whatever Joe wanted and using Joe's influence to get better deals all over the world. Profits so far are at least $160 million and all of that will go to Joe when he retires.
What's that you say? It's not Biden that did that, it was t?
Well, that's different. Never mind.

Do you think Trump's kids said "10% for the big guy and you better write that check now or else?" Biden's kids don't run businesses. The only thing Hunter runs are drugs and a train on his dead brother's widow.
Just stop with the "but... but... but... Trump" bullshit. My cold, black heart is trying to save you from yourself, Fudd.
Once again…your views lean very much to one side.
I do find it weird how everytime someone testifies against the Biden’s or there is a hearing about alleged illegal activity the Biden family has been linked to, there is instantly another Trump indictment for your fellow leaning media outlets to run with.
Hüsker Dü
DA
Trump isn’t on your side he’s on his own side. You may have to find a new daddy.
The idea that you find it weird that I oppose the biggest traitor in the history of our country says more about you than it does about me.
